My DD is four (almost five) and in reception. A friend brought her home for me today and when she got home I saw that she had a huge bruise and bump on her forehead. My friend said she'd told her on the walk that she'd fallen over in the playground and hit her head on the floor.
The bump was unnaturally huge, and the bruise with it looked terrible...
She said she was tired (though she always is after school so i was unsure if this meant anything sinister) and she couldn't remember when she did it but that the teacher had helped her. I thought if it had happened hours ago she was probably fine, but if it was more recent then maybe I should get some advice...
I called her school and the teacher said they were completely unaware she had fallen. I asked her again and she said again that her teacher had helped her up. The teacher then remembered and said 'oh yes, that was about an hour ago, she slipped in some water'
The was sort of weird in itself, but I feel like they should have called me? And after hitting her head hard enough to immediately get a bump and bruise shouldn't there at least be some kind of accident book? Without the visible evidence I would have been none the wiser and I feel like it should have been my decision to bring her home or not. She was so upset and saying how much her head hurt, she hasn't been herself all evening.

To think the school should have called me?
